EDWIN E. SLICK, OF BRADDOCK, PENNSYLVANIA GAS-BURNER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 624,391, dated May 2, 1899. Application filed May 24, 1898. Serial No- 68I,604. (No model.)

Be it known that I, EDWIN E. SLICK, of Braddock, in the county of Allegheny and State of Pennsylvania, have invented'a new and useful Improvement in Gas-Burners, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description, reference being had to the acpart of this specification, in which-- Figure 1 shows in front elevation, partly in vertical section, a boiler-furnace provided with my improved gasrburner. Fig. 2 is a vertical section on the line II II of Fig. 1.

2 represents the gas pipe or main by which the gas is conveyed to the burners and which is supported overhead, as shown in the drawings, or may be otherwise suitably arranged.

3 3 are the branches-or downtake pipes, which lead from the pipe 2 and communicate with dust-catching chambers at 4, provided with suitable doors 5 for the removal of deposited flue-dust. From each of the dustchainbers 4 extend lateral branches 5 5, which are made in separable parts or castings, as shown in-Fig. 1, and are detachably secured so as to communicate with openings in the sides of the dust-chain bers. At the upper ends of these branches 5 5' are gas-ports b 6, communicating with the gas-burner nozchambers 9. Each nozzle 7 is preferably arranged to slide on its seats, so that when in forward position, as in Fig. 2, an opening is provided for the passage of gas into the combustion-chamber and that when drawn back the nozzle itself shall act as a slide-valve to close the port 6. My broader claims are not, however, limited to this construction.

A feature of noveltyin my invention is that I employ two gas-b u rners branching from the dust-catcher chamber, and thus adapted to supply two burners or combustion-chambers. The dust-catchers are efficient in cleaning the gas, for'the deposited dust may be easily removed through the doors 5. hen it is desired to use the combustion-chamber for burning coal, the branch pipes 5 and the burners may easily be detached and removed and the openings in the sides of the dust-chambers closed with cover-plates. Any convenient number of branches may be applied to the dust-catching chambers.

The burner may be used with advantage not only with boiler-furnaces, but with hotblast stoves or combustion-chambers of other types.

The advantages of my invention will be appreciated .by those skilled in the art. It is easily applied to use and constitutes very convenient means for burning gas.

Within the scope of the invention as defined in the broader claims changes may be made in the form and structure of the parts, since What I claim is 1. The combination of an overhead gasmain, a branch gas-pipe leading downwardly therefrom in front of a furnace, a dust-catcher at the lower end of the branch pipe, and a burner secured to a branch from the dustcatcher, and directed into the furnace-chamber, substantially as described.

2. The combination of an overhead gasmain,branch pipes leading downwardly therefrom in front of a series of furnace-chambers, each branch terminating in a dust-catcher having a plurality of lateral branches, and burners secured to said branches and projecting into the furnace-chambers, substantially as described.

3. The combination of an overhead gasmain,branch pipes leading downwardly therefrom, each branch terminating in a dustcatcher, a series of f urnace-chambers in front of the branches, each branch being in line with adividing-wall between the furnacechambers and a plurality of lateral branches secured to each dust-catcher and projecting into the furnace-chambers, substantially as described.

4. The combination of an overhead gasmain, a branch gas-pipe leading downwardly therefrom in front of a furnace, a dust-catcher at the lower end of the branch pipe, a detachable lateral branch secured to the dust catcher and a burner secured to the branch and projecting into the furnace-chamber, substantially as described.

.5. The combination of an overhead gasmain,branoh pipes leadingdownwardly there from, in front of a series of furnace-charm- In testimony whereof I have hereunto set here, each branch pipe terminating in a dustmy hand.
